Update RT references in repository/wiki

[coke]

parrot's  http://rt.perl.org/rt3/ queue is now empty.

there are 175 instances in the repository now of "RT #" and many urls containing rt.perl.org.

My suggestion:

• Find any references to RTs that have been transferred to trac and convert their references to a simple "TT #nnn" (no URLS. we can make 'make html' smarter about this if necessary.)
• If an RT was rejected, it probably shouldn't be referenced from the repository
• Any remaining RTs are probably references to bugs or discussions that were resolved. They can remain; as with the TT's, don't use a full URL; just refer to the "RT #nnn"
• Update the glossary to insure that TT and RT point to their respective base urls. (RT's entry should mention the historical nature of those references.)

Can you post your grep, etc., so we can reproduce? Thanks.

ack --text 'RT #'

Replying to coke:

  ack --text 'RT #'

... which, it should be noted, requires a more recent version of App::Ack than I had installed. So if you have an older version of that module, it's time to upgrade.

ack --text 'RT #'

And before I saw this post I had rolled my own:

find . -type f -a ! -path '*/.svn*' -a ! -path '*/cover*' | xargs grep -n -E '\bRT\b'

I've made it about halfway through the list I generated. Since we search for the string RT, where I think we should leave a permanent link to discussion in an RT item, I've been changing that to a full URL.

If that's not satisfactory, feel free to second-guess me.

Thank you very much.

That's a good plan.[0]

[0] What you're doing, that is, not second guessing you. =-)

The references in the repository have been updated. I'm attaching a diff, so that if in certain cases you think I deleted too much, you can revert as needed.

I'll leave references in the Wiki to someone else.

References to RT deleted from repository Nov 20-21 2009

Any references left in the wiki can be considered historical. Closing ticket.
